Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,

der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,

He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نار الله الموقدة
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Lo! it is closed in on them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In outstretched columns.
In columns outstretched.
في عمد ممددة
